Hi everyone, I’m working on a blog design and so far I have the basic layout for the posts and pages. Here’s what it looks like: https://imgur.com/a/xeljK (sorry I can't link) I only have the design in Photoshop, so I don't have a live link to share. I'm looking for advice on the design specifically, so I can polish it. Could anyone give me some pointers, specifically when it comes to spacings, font sizes, and line heights? Is the title font too big? What about the line heights? Are the elements too cluttered, and where should I add some white space? Thanks in advance!
Hard to read the logo. The share buttons blend in and don't stand out very well. Perhaps add their respective colors as simple square backgrounds. It's a bit monotoned with the orange/peach coloring against white. Even if you're going for a minimalist-ish design. It's ok to make it as the primary accent, but have a green plant or something in the background of that cat image. The font spacing and layout is on point.
It is VERY hard to guage "too big" from a screenshot; I would say MOST of your text is in fact too small, but that would hinge on if you are using dynamic (% or EM) font sizes like a good little doobie, or pissing on accessibility from orbit by declaring font-size in pixels. In general there are some things in the design that reek of "Fixed width pixel layout" but without seeing the page live, it's hard to say if that is actually an issue that needs to be addressed.
menu text and logo looks to small. Is it mobile responsive? something to think about. my advice don't waste to much time on designing get some great content on there!
